Engineers at NASA's assembly facility have fully integrated all five major structures of the Space Launch System's core stage.
on Monday. The space agency’s team of engineers at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans connected the engine section to the rocket stage on Friday and are now preparing to attach its four RS-25 engines to complete the stage, according to NASA.
“Located at the bottom of the 212-foot-tall core stage, the engine section is the most complex and intricate part of the rocket stage, helping to power Artemis missions to the Moon,” the space agency wrote in its statement. The engine section not only holds the engines themselves, but also includes the system that delivers the fuel from the propellant tank to the engines. It connects the RS-25 engines with the two solid rocket boosters, producing a combined 8.
NASA’s Artemis 1 mission was largely a success, although it took a while for SLS to get off the ground. The rocket’s debut suffered multiple delays that pushed its inaugural liftoff by nearly three months, as the ground teams struggled to resolve hydrogen leaks prior to launch.When it did finally launch, however, SLS became the most powerful operational rocket in the world and the most powerful rocket ever built.
